With a few hard, well-placed swats where she would feel them the most, he stopped and cupped one reddened cheek in his hand. “Feel better, pet?”
“Yes, Sir.” The soft, almost pitiful reply told him she was exactly where he wanted her. Helping her up, he cuddled her on his lap just as he had with Allison. Big girls needed cuddles just as much as Little girls, as far as he was concerned.
“Thank you for trusting me,” he murmured, keeping his voice low. This moment was just for the two of them. “I know it was hard for you, and I will do everything in my power to honor that trust.”
“I’m sorry I’m such a mess. I know I should be more—”
“Are you looking for another trip over my knee so soon, pet? Because I have to warn you, my hand is pretty sore, so I’ll need to borrow a paddle or something if that’s the case.”
Eyes wide with horror, she shook her head frantically. “No! I just mean, it feels like I should be more… together, I guess. And this whole situation has me feeling very much not together.”
“Maybe because you’re not a hundred percent in control for once?”
“Maybe,” she mumbled, her brows drawing together in obvious annoyance.
“I can imagine that’s going to take some time to get used to. That doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you, baby.”
“I guess.”
For someone who was so adamant about not wanting a Daddy, she was acting exactly like an overtired, sulky Little. And Daddy or Sir, it didn’t matter, he was putting his foot down. “All right. Why don’t you girls get ready for bed, and I’ll tuck you in.”
Allie jumped up from the chair, excitement lighting up her face. “Would you read us, er,mea bedtime story? Please?”
“I’d love to. Do you want to pick one out while Michelle gets into her pajamas?”
“Yay!” Obviously not caring that her reddened bottom was still on display, Allison ran to the desk and grabbed the folder to flip through the pages. Swaying from side to side, she scanned each page carefully before moving on to the next, and he couldn’t help but wonder if she was in search of something specific.
Well, she would either find it or she wouldn’t, and they’d cross whichever bridge it was when they got there. For now, he focused on Michelle, who was still looking pretty put out by the whole situation. “Go on, pet. Time for bed.”
“It’s too early for bed.”
“It’s not too early for you to snuggle our girl while I read her a story, now is it?”
Everything about her went soft and she glanced over at Allie, who was still carefully perusing the book selection. “No, I suppose it’s never too early for that.”
“Exactly.” Lowering his voice even further, he leaned in so his breath brushed against the shell of her ear. “And if you’re a good girl tonight, maybe the three of us can have some more… grown up time tomorrow.”
“I would like that very much, Sir.”
“Me too, pet. So, why don’t you do as you’re told and go get ready for bed.”
Like a shot, she was off his lap and in the bathroom, with the sound of running water barely covering her happy humming. Satisfied she was taken care of, he crossed the room to see to their Little girl.
Chapter 17
Michelle
Terror, happiness, desire. Dozens of conflicting emotions swirled inside of her as she brushed her teeth. It had been so long since someone had taken care of her this way she wasn’t quite sure how she felt about it.
The only thing she really knew for certain was that her bottomhurt. A whole fucking lot. He hadn’t held back, despite his assurances that she wasn’t being punished. It had almost been enough to drive her to tears, but something inside of her wasn’t quite ready to let him see her that vulnerable just yet.
With her teeth and face clean, she twisted around to view his handiwork in the mirror. Her entire ass and almost halfway down her thighs was a bright, hot pink. In awe, she poked at her flesh, watching as the skin turned white and then quickly went back to pink. While it was unlikely she would find it uncomfortable to sit tomorrow, there was no doubt that she would be going to sleep with a very warm backside.
Oh, how she’d missed this. Not just the physical punishment, but the way he’d held her afterwards. The knowledge that someone else was in charge, at least for a few moments. It would be so easy to simply let him take over, to not have to be the bossy one, the bad guy. If Allie got in trouble, she could simply let her Daddy take care of her discipline, and Michelle could be there to snuggle her afterwards.
But that wasn’t fair to him. And what was she supposed to do when she and Allie returned home, and he was still here? If she backed down now and let him take over the way she was tempted, would Allie lose all respect for her by the time they left? She couldn’t very well rely on him to discipline Allie long-distance. That wasn’t fair to any of them.
Ugh, already this was so freaking complicated, and she just couldn’t wrap her mind around how it would actually work long-term. If she hadn’t seen how Allie had lit up at the prospect of having a Daddy, she’d just call the whole thing off now and spare them all the heartache. Since she wasn’t prepared to break her babygirl’s heart like that, she’d have to be the reasonable one. The logical one. The one on the lookout for every possible pitfall of the adventure Allie was ready to jump into with both feet.
